      17 songs with 8 cover versions, surely a man of his back catalogue can do better

      I've seen him twice once in the RDS and once in the 3 arena, he puts on a great show.

      RDS set up was seating in front of standing section ,so think this could be similar. Even with seats at the front everybody stood and danced all night.


      Will be trying for whatever front of pitch is standing or sitting.

      His uk gigs are all seated so Id expect the same here.
      Ticket prices from 66 euro to an extortionate 121 euro plus booking fees.

      It was actually just 16 songs as 9 was "cat stevens".

      Some of those covers I understand, as they are very popular and many would not even think they are covers. I would rather see him do one of those album gigs, playing it start to finish. He has too many songs from the 80's on that I am not fond of.

      I can understand he wants to keep the majority happy but I wonder if given the choice would anybody have voted to hear him play "having a party" or "its a hearbreak" over say "you wear it well" which is missing.

      yeah like many other older artists who are milking it at this stage.

      i can see this being full of drunken middle aged women and even drunker men who were dragged along lol. outdoor gigs in ireland are beginning to become unapealling due to drunkeness, drugs, bandwagoners etc
